Hey Brian! Yep, been rough finding a lot right now. We're scraping for finds too! Have a good rest off and we'll wait to see you back at it soon enough!
I was listening to the video and at 23:07 I let out a cackle when you made the Star Trek comment. I had to replay it to watch the video and giggle some more. I always enjoy your hunts, keep up the good work on the videos. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the video and look forward to the next one! We're up to 5" of snow just south of Nashville, so I'll be working on some fishing reels for the next few days. Fish sandwich season is right around the corner 🎣
Hi Brian. A small hunt but a fun hunt. It’s always good to see you out there hunting. Those man of war are nothing to mess with. It was cool to see it. Enjoy some free time . Your people will be here when you come back. Happy New Year. Take care. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🥰🥰💯💯💯💯
Thanks for sharing, I learned a few things from watching your hunt. My last time out at Daytona was late December of ‘24. I only found 2 cents hence it was likely my slowest hunt ever. Hope you enjoy the break. 👍😎🦈🦈
Hi metalsharxs , thank you . Once the water temp gets too cold to swim the finds drop off . Things will pick up if we get a good northeast wind and surf for a few days to cut some sand off the beach . Winter is always a grind on Daytona . Best time for a break . Thank you for watching .
Always enjoy watching you, but you deserve a break. Get lots of rest and take care of the shoulder. We will miss you, but will be waiting for your return.
That deep .10, some will say it’s only .10 and not worth it. But it’s the best feeling when you finally fish that sucker out of the sand. Cant wait till you’re back but I can’t believe it’s been 8 years! I found your channel 8 years ago when I moved to a town near Philly and started looking up beach detecting and what equipment to get being so close to the jersey beaches.
The "Unknown Object" appears to be a small speaker by the shape. If so, should be a magnet on the small side. Enjoy your time off and rest that shoulder Brian!
Hi J , it does look like a speaker, but its not magnetic. My shoulder is doing good and I'm looking forward to doing some fishing . Thanks for watching .
I always enjoy the hunt! I need a close up of that man'o'war. Our family's first swim in the ocean, there were either those or jellyfish in the water! We didn't know what they were or to be wary of them...lol. We're from Iowa!! I picked one up that drifted close to me. I thought it was a flower!! I got a good sting and it got a very quick flying lesson!!!...lol!!!. That strange object looked like part of a snap. It looked like a sturdy utility type one, like from an old backpack. Was that some bits of thread on it as well?
Hi Sandra , they will sting you. Its hard to say what the strange thing is. I guess it could be some kind of snap . I may have to try cleaning it some more . Maybe drop it in the tumbler . Thanks for watching .
Hi Martin , it does look like a speaker. I will check it for magnetism and let you know . My shoulder is feeling much better but still healing. I want to be ready for Spring Break and Bike Week. Thanks for watching .
Hi Marlene , my shoulder is doing good. A few weeks of rest should help a lot . Its been very cold for here anyways . So far its been staying above freezing and my tomatoes are doing good. More cold on the way . Thanks for watching .
That Enjoy your brake get your shoulder feeling better for when you find that juice fat gold ring.❤,that object looks the the back side of a old button.
Maybe I'll find some more coins now that one more manticore is off the beach !!!! Have you though of buying the sling that helps take some of the weight of the machine off?
Hi Unknown , I have thought about buying one , but worry it will interfere with my camera . I should try one and see how it goes . Thanks for watching .
@idigdaytona4478 I've been looking at them for a while. Seems like there's a $50-100 four point option and then a single sling type thing that you could also use on a weed eater. I think it's possible to use with a camera. I'll buy one soon and if it's a massive success I'll let you know.
Hi Rob , this is a perfect time to take a break with the water being so cold . My shoulder is doing good and I am looking forward to Spring Break and Bike week. I will see you out there. Thanks for watching .
@idigdaytona4478 need a classic winter side current ripper for at least 48 hrs , but those setups only last about 12 hrs. on average and then it's east pushing sand up quick again.
Hi Douglas , I watch Ventusky . Its a good weather site. Shows wind and surf and you can look ahead . Seems the wind here lately can't make up its mind .
@idigdaytona4478 I can get a couple cams off weather bug , and chart what's up , but I'm 30 seconds from the beach so I'm monitoring continuously in between work. It's absolutely horrendous detecting lately I will say .
Well it just goes to show that you don't always find that fat gold ring. But the hunt is the real fun. Keep swingin brother. I really do enjoy the vids.
Reality check: before wasting a lot of time prospecting a "promising beach", check with the local public works department to find out if and when was the last time they operated one of those tractor-pulled beach skimming machines to "keep the beach clean", some of which filter the first six or eight inches or more of all the sand on the beach, row by row, dropping all of the booty along with all the soda cans and food wrappers onto a screen that then returns just the sterile sand back to the beach. Having worked in such a community by the way, I can confirm that these guys never find or at least never report finding much less turning in a single gold ring, Spanish coin or Rolex watch.
Hi AJay , we do not have the beach cleaning operation here . They have people like me . lol We have trash cans all over the place and they empty them throughout the day . We have clean beaches . Thanks for watching .
Hey Brian! Yep, been rough finding a lot right now. We're scraping for finds too! Have a good rest off and we'll wait to see you back at it soon enough!
Hi Scott , I feel better taking a break now then I would in July ! See you out there soon . Thanks for watching .

Hi Terri , lol , I'm taking a break for a few weeks but more on the way soon . Thank you for watching .
Hey Brian, even though it's that time of year the treasures are thin out there it's still good to see you hunting. Take care 👍😎
Hi Ray , the rest will feel great. Be back soon, thanks for watching .
Great little finds, great video as always. Enjoy your well deserved vacation. I hope your shoulder feels better soon.
Hi Barb , thank you . My shoulder is getting a little better every day. Thank you for watching.
Enjoy your well deserved time off. I think I’ll go back and watch some of your older videos I haven’t seen!! 👍😎👍
Hi rbrown , thank you . That will help with the income drop from not doing weekly videos. Thanks for watching .
Hey Datona I just heard a monster 1400 pound enormous Great White adult shark, nicknamed "Breton," surfaced off Daytona Beach four times on Thursday!
Hi Tom , he is a monster ! Good thing nobody is swimming right now . Surf temp is 61 degrees . Thanks for watching .
Rest up. We will be here when you’re back on the hunt! ✌️

Hi Spicey , yes time fly's . Seems to go faster the older I get . It also seems gravity increases with age . lol Thanks for watching .
Best of luck on your recovery.
That one item that you thought was a coin may be a small speaker...check if iron sticks to the back round part.
Hi Patric , thank you . It does look like a small speaker but it is not magnetic . Thanks for watching .
Take care of your self and rest. Hopefully you will get more treasures soon at the beach stay safe. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
You need a break
Hi JJ , I do need a break . It won;t last long . lol Thanks for watching .
Hi Joanne , that's the plan. Resting up for Spring Break and Bike Week . Thanks for watching .

Hi Brian the mystery object I think is a little speaker 🔈 is it magnetic, hopefully a good rest for your shoulder will do the trick
Hi Martin , it does look like a speaker. I will check it for magnetism and let you know . My shoulder is feeling much better but still healing. I want to be ready for Spring Break and Bike Week. Thanks for watching .
Hi Martin , I checked it out . It is not magnetic . Still a mystery what it is. lol
